Well, I'm not totally certain yet.
Initially was going to use 17 inch all around,,,,,, but like the idea of using the vintage "big N' little" look like the originals had,,,,, so I might be using 16s in front and 17s in rear.
It also depends on how tall a tire I need in the front, once I figure out how large a rear one I have room for.
I am planning on getting some of those light 3 piece "ferrari-ish" compomotives for the car, (or maybe some "period correct" style McLaren wheels from Jongbloed),,,,,,,,and want to run as wide a tire all around as possible. (hopefully 315 35 17s in the back)
side note: I found/bought a porsche transaxle for the project this morning.
It should arrive via UPS in a few days.
Also have a bud who builds "vintage race engines" that called me & has an "extra" all aluminum 215 Buick V8- he thought I might consider using.
I hadn't thought of it as a potential powerplant, but the price is right and the motor only weighs 300 pounds.......
......so I'm going to his place Sunday with a "tape measure" to see if it is "doable".
Yes- I think I'm qoing to be eating alot of macoroni & cheese soon
